You are obviously not a C++ Builder user. C++ Builder supports the equivalent of Delphi extensions to the Pascal language including properties, methods, and events. Additionally, component creation requires additional skills that a standard C++ program would have to acquire. I've been working with Delphi since its initial release and there are many thing you must know to produce high quality, reusable and commercial grade components for the C++ Builder/Delphi environment (which are interchangable, BTW). I just got back from the Borland conference in San Diego this morning. Good conference...they show some cool stuff. Naturally, anything Kylix (Delphi and C++ Builder on Linux)was heavily attended events with Delphi related events being the most most popular. Maybe 30% of those attending the show were BCB users. The only really new product shown (everybody already knew about Kylix) was JBuilder for Macintosh and the announcement of a collaboration between Apple and Borland. They also showed Delphi 6, but since that is at least six months away, it only got a mild reception. InterBase is STILL not Open Sourced...blame it, like most things, on the lawyers. At least that's what both Borland's CEO and Interbase Corp's CEO are saying.

I just handed off some C++ Builder stuff and I don't see what makes it so special......You write standard C/C++, draw a picture of the window/form that you want and link events (Click, MouseOver, Drag, Activate) to routines. Same as VisualBasic, same as Glade. I simply don't see what is there be to C Builder that someone clueful couldn't pick up really fast..... ______________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group - http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mail/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mail/listinfo/plug ______________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group - http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mail/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mail/listinfo/plug
